My village can't be like this

Chapter 268 Ancient Books
The demolition of several houses did not take much time, it was completed in one morning and half an afternoon.

After all, it is an adobe house, and because it was built relatively early, it is not troublesome to tear down the cracked walls.

Everyone, you take a sledgehammer, and I take a steel drill, and you can make a hole in the earth wall to tilt it up.

Originally, when Zhang An was demolishing, he was paying attention everywhere.

He wondered if the house was built early, and some old objects from the 60s and [-]s would be demolished inside.

For example, there is a stone mound in the yard carved with the pattern of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, which has been moved by Zhang An to his house.

But after the surrounding areas were razed to the ground, except for a lot of copper coins found under the foundation.

There was also a rusty sword hanging from the roof, but nothing else.

There are quite a few of these copper coins, but they are all rusted on the surface, and it is impossible to tell what age the currency is.

Seeing those patinas, Zhang An's idea of ​​wanting to collect them had to go bankrupt halfway.

Copper coins that have lost even the surface can no longer be repaired, and have no collection value at all.

However, the situation of the sword that had just been removed was much better than Zhang An had imagined.

When it was hung on the roof just now, it looked rusty, but now it is taken off and looked at, it seems that the rust is not very serious.

This sword probably has a bit of history. It is said that when the Taoist temple was first built, it was hung up and used as a town house.

It is estimated that after the main hall is built, it will continue to be hung and guarded.

After the house was demolished next night, Second Uncle Zhang An went to the town to contact the building material dealer, ready to buy goods.

On the second day, you need to prepare to dig the foundation. Since it is an old house that is newly built, there is no need to prepare for any groundbreaking ceremony.

Choose a good time in the morning, and then start the work after offering sacrifices.

Because all the work of building the house was contracted to Zhang Jianjun and his group, they were also responsible for digging the foundation.

In the morning, when they started to work, there was the sound of beeping tractors at the entrance of the village.

This is the building material supplier that Zhang Jianjun contacted last night, and now they are dragging over the materials they ordered.

Originally, Zhang An was thinking that he would put it on the bridge at the entrance of the village after being pulled here, but Zhang An even cleaned up the place the night before.

But many people in the village knew that it was Zhang and his party who wanted to rebuild the Taoist temple.

Several families came over at this moment, and asked the tractor master to drive more.

Although the road was not that wide, they said that they could drive in from the fields of several of their families.

Now it is after autumn, the rice has been harvested, and the original paddy fields have become dry fields, and tractors can drive directly into them.

If it is an ordinary person, no one will agree to let others drive in their fields.

After all, if a good fertile field is run over by a tractor pulling things, it will be difficult to grow crops later.

But when everyone knew that Zhang and his party were going to build a house, they all took the initiative to speak up.

Because in Changqing Village, there is almost no one who has not been helped by Zhang and his party.

In the past, all those who suffered from illness in the village were helped by Zhang and his party.

Because at that time, the hospital was too far away, and the traffic was not good, and everyone didn't have much money, and no one would spend what they could save.

Even though there was a health center in Changqing at that time, there was a barefoot doctor on duty there.

But when most people have a minor illness, they go to Zhang and his party to see, and then take some herbs back to eat.

The reason why many people don't go to the clinic is very simple, one is because it costs money.

The second reason is that the health center has no medicine reserves for many years.

In Western medicine, even minor ailments and pains are treated with pills.

Anyone who has experienced that era knows that, especially in the village health center, there is really no medicine stock.

On the one hand, there are not so many medicines, and secondly, it is because everyone buys medicines on credit.

At the end of the year, everyone will go to the health center to write off the bill.

But even so, few people paid back the money, and most of them used grain to pay off the debt.

When the health center was first established, it was actually okay, after all, there were not so many bad debts.

But after a long time, because everyone was procrastinating, the health center didn't have much money to buy medicines.

Moreover, at that time, among the nearby villages, only Changqing and Hongyan had health centers.

After going back and forth in this way, Chang Qing's own clinic became a common infirmary for everyone in the nearby ten miles and eight towns.

Every time the barefoot doctor just went to the county to prescribe medicine, and it was already sold out by everyone within a few days.

Most of these medicines are not in the hands of the people in Changqing Village, and more people in other villages.

So after coming and going, everyone in the village didn't go to the health center, but went to Zhang and his party for medical treatment.

And Zhang and his party never charge money for medical treatment. This is a rule passed down by his master, even if they use the herbs they dug themselves, they will not be charged.

But there is a requirement, that is, after the illness is cured, it is necessary to help him dig the corresponding herbs back.

After all, even if he went to the mountain to dig medicine every day by himself, he still couldn't afford so many people to see a doctor.

So we can only work together to distribute this task to everyone.

In this way, Zhang and his party's reserves of herbal medicines are also guaranteed, and everyone is guaranteed to be able to catch them when they go to the doctor.

Of course, if he can't treat it, he can only go to the big hospital in the county.

So after a long time, even people who are not sick or in pain will dig up some herbs every time they go to work in the mountains.

After coming back, I will take it to Zhang and his party. After all, no one can guarantee that I will not get sick all the time.

Therefore, it also laid a good herbal foundation for the generation in the village.

As a result, many people in the village now have a clear understanding of most common herbal medicines.

Although the effects of many disease herbal medicines are relatively slow, they are very popular.

Because this thing does not cost money, for everyone, this is more important than others.

Therefore, from a long time ago, the people in the village have always been favored by Zhang Yixing, his mentor and his disciples.

Therefore, after everyone knew that Zhang and his party were going to rebuild the Taoist temple, they all took the initiative to help.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jianjun voluntarily waived his own salary when calculating the expenses yesterday.

And at this moment, in addition to letting the tractor go directly to the few houses in their field.

Most of the families in the village who are free have basically sent out a person to help.

At this moment, they were all carrying slings and baskets, and this posture was to help carry materials.

The master who transported the materials saw that the owners in the field were all open, so he drove the tractor directly from the field.

The materials have been pulled to the edge of the bamboo forest, and the unloading is not started until they can no longer go in.

In this way, the distance needed to transport materials was directly reduced by three quarters because a small road was opened from the field.

Now everyone who comes to help can carry the materials from the foot of the bamboo forest through the bamboo forest to the Taoist temple.

Seeing this situation, Zhang An directly asked his mother and two aunts to go home and prepare to cook.

Everyone took the initiative to help, and lunch must be taken care of.

Zhang and his party are alone, and now they are living in Zhang An's house.

Zhang An didn't even think about it, so he took this matter down, and it's okay to provide everyone with a meal at noon at home.

As if you have time to spare, invite everyone in the village to have a simple flowing water mat.

Zhang An has proven the saying that strength is more than strength.

Today refreshed his cognition again, three tractors were transporting materials on the road.

But every time it was not long before the delivery, and before the next delivery, everyone had already moved the last car.

In the end, Zhang Jianjun discussed with the supplier's boss, taking advantage of the large number of people, and asked them to send more tractors to help deliver the goods.

In this way, the work that needed to be done for at least two or three days was finished by everyone in less than a day.

The materials came in, the foundation had been dug, and the Taoist reconstruction project officially started.

If it weren't for the fact that it was all contracted to the village's engineering team, many people wanted to come over to help with small labor.

Although I don't know how to build walls, I can still mix cement and sand and pass bricks.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, before the rapeseed was transplanted, the three houses in the Taoist temple had already been built.

Zhang An originally thought it would take a lot of time, but he didn't expect everyone to go so fast.

But it is also understandable, because the three houses were not built as one-story houses, but tile-roofed houses.

Therefore, building the walls took up most of the progress of the project. In addition, red bricks were used, so the speed of building the walls was many times faster than that of the previous stone walls.

During this period of time, Zhang An's family was not empty either.

With Zhang Jianwen's promise, Zhang An took people directly to the brigade's forest farm to cut logs.

A tile-roofed house needs a lot of wood, in addition to the girders and overhanging beams, there are also those rafters and overhanging eaves.

Moreover, the pillars in the house and the floor slabs all need beams of wood.

It also happens to be this time, the weather has not yet entered winter, and there is still a bright sun in the sky.

It seemed that the wood could be dried within a few days, so Zhang An went directly to the town and called a tractor over.

Some of the wood was pulled to the sawmill, and it was directly converted into square boards that will be used for floor slabs in the future.

Also taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang An also got out the Davidia involucrata wood that had been prepared in the space, and also sawed a batch of square timber.

Finally, before winter, the reconstruction work of the Taoist temple was completed.

But now Zhang and his party didn't move in right away, because Zhang Anrang said that it was already the end of the year, and we would wait until the end of the year.

And now there is no water and electricity in the Taoist temple, so it is not convenient to live in.

Some time ago, the power supply bureau called for someone to come over and plant the wires in the bamboo forest, and the wires have been pulled through.

However, the line to enter the house has not been fixed, because the people in the power supply bureau seem to be very busy these days.

So I can't find the time to come over, I have to wait until a few days later.

After all, they weren't in a hurry, so Zhang and his party didn't urge them to do it when they were free.

If this is changed in the future, when will someone explain it to you, just push it two or three miles and let you wait slowly.

After winter, Zhang An didn't go anywhere, just sat at home.

During this period of time, Zhang An also learned gymnastics and medical knowledge from Zhang and his party.

"Xiao'an, these books are medical books handed down by my master, you should take them and study first."

This morning, after the two finished their morning exercises in the yard, Zhang and his party took out a few old ancient books and handed them to Zhang An and said.

Although these books are very old, they seem to be very well preserved, with no obvious damage.

There are only some natural wear and tear, and it can be seen that Zhang Xingxing has preserved them very well.

Zhang An took it and took a look. It turned out to be "Huangdi Neijing", "Su Wen Lun", "Qian Jin Fang" and "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Opening it again, Zhang An's heart became restless.

He has never seen ancient books, but looking through these books, he can also know that they must have been handed down for a long time.

Moreover, it is not the printed form on the market today, but a very ancient printing method.

"Godfather, this book is too precious, I..."

If these books are taken out, they are all things that can be put directly in the museum.

Therefore, their value can be known by just thinking about it. Zhang An was a little hesitant as to whether he should follow.

"What's the matter? My master passed it on to me. I have no apprentices or children. It's destined to be passed on to you in the future, but it's just a little earlier now."

Zhang Xingxing said with a smile, motioning Zhang An to accept it.

Zhang An grew up beside him since he was a child, and he wanted to teach him from an early age.

But at that time, Zhang An's mind was uncertain, so he never said this.

After all, most people don't like traditional things in the new era, especially now that the old and the new are changing.

But for the past two months, Zhang An has been studying with him every day.

Zhang and his party could clearly feel that Zhang An really liked these things.

And not only that, he found that Zhang An's learning speed was very fast, and Zhang An could understand many things after he explained a little bit.

Especially for his "Taisu Nine Needles", Zhang An only spent more than a month to study it systematically.

Although Zhang An needs to spend time on it if he wants to master it in depth.

But even so, this speed is already very fast.

You must know that when he was studying with his master, he learned to read at the age of three and started to learn boxing at the age of five.

When he was eight years old, his master began to teach him these things.

When he was 13 years old, he first came into contact with acupuncture, that is, "Taisu Nine Needles".

But it took him many years to understand what was inside.

Thinking about it now, his speed at that time was not at the same level as that of Zhang Anyi now.

In fact, Zhang and his party didn't know, Zhang An didn't figure it out by himself.

It's that this guy is a jerk, with an unbelievably strong memory.

Especially after the space mutated this time, his memory became even stronger.

Everything that Zhang Xingxing told him, Zhang An recorded everything in his mind like a camera.

When you need to take it out for use, you only need to think a little bit, and it will be shown in your mind like a movie.

Now Zhang An is annoyed, if he travels back, he will be a sophomore in high school.

With this memory, he couldn't get into any school.

In view of Zhang An's learning ability, Zhang and his party thought about it for a few days before deciding to hand over all these things to Zhang An.
